Haven't you ever seen a super market fridge. If you don't have doors, you don't have to yell at the kids to keep 'em closed. I need to go look at what ya'll are talking about.
Another great tutorial Chris. Thanks for making it. Very helpful. How did you handle the MQTT sensors that you defined for your weather station in Dwains Dashboard since they do not have Areas assigned? Can they be added manually by adding cards and referencing the Entities as you describe?
Actually, I realized later that by going back and adding a "unique_id:" to each of the MQTT weather sensor definitions, you are then able to assign an Area to each one using the UI to populate automatically to the proper area under Dwain's Dashboard. You could also set the Area for each to "Weather" and group all your weather sensors for easy viewing. Hopefully that helps others who are learning as I am.
hi - is it possible to make a dashboard for presentation only? user can login but do nothing in fullscreen - no settings and nothing only look for example a webcam or see his smartmeter? for example from his mobile or tablet on his home? thx chris for share your videos and much work
Doesn't work, only errors in dwains dashboard like: "custom element doesn't exist: dwains-dashboard-layout" or "homepage-card" problems noted on github page last year and no fixes
Thank you Chris, this makes most people life very easy. Just a question can the dashboard be shown on kiosk browser ie porch just showing alarm panel and say all lights , kitchen area just showing kitchen entities, so we can use say a old phone for each area as control panel. Thank you in advance. Ajay
Hey Ajay. I haven't tried that. I'll have to do some experimentation. I'm not sure if there is a direct URL to each room... actually I just checked and it appears there is a UUID created in the URL for each area. You might play around with putting the URL in something like Fully Kiosk and see how it renders.
Aside from the various smart plugs around the house, I use Emporia and and Aeon Labs sensor. Take a look here for all the stuff I use: www.mostlychris.com/my-smart-home-gear/
Chris How did you get your cameras to work? I used the blueprint and put in my rtsp address but nothing shows up. If I use Lovelace card it works but then I can't add it to favorites.
Hi, could you please make a video on how did you integrate your DSC alarm system in HA? I'm really interested in DSC integration for my own home. Kind regards, Adrian

Great video thanks for posting it. Just getting into HA and this will be a great way to get started with dashboards
Love the battery page idea. I created something similar for my various battery-powered sensors using grid cards.
Awesome!
Chris keeps his kitchen pretty cold. He must keep the milk on the counter. 😅😂 Great video!
Best way to have a huuuge fridge

@@mostlychris I think you had the fridge or freezer thermometer labeled kitchen if I remember correctly. 🤣

Clear your browser cache...I had the same issue!

Nice Thanks for showing this
You bet
Hi Chris, what devices do you use for electricity consumption?
Aside from the various smart plugs around the house, I use Emporia and and Aeon Labs sensor. Take a look here for all the stuff I use: www.mostlychris.com/my-smart-home-gear/
Its not showing in integration when searching. What to do?
Hope this can be done with a docker-compose setup!!! Love the dark mode... thanks.... You guys think maybe they are faking the whole ISS thing???🤪
Let us know if you get it to work in docker. Not sure about the ISS thing.
Excellent … thanks.
Thanks!
Hi Chris, how did you get the person information to go away under your greeting?
Under the main settings, I just told it not to display it.

Work in what way?

Thanks for suggestion. I'll add that to my list of suggestions.
Hi Chris , I am getting an error Custom element doesn't exist:dwains-dasbard-layout

force a refresh of your browser
You can resolve that by clearing your browser cache or using another browser to login.
As mentioned, you'll need to clear cache. I think that is even mentioned in the docs for the dashboard.
